イブズバッチでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

マルバーンズで最も高いピークですが、最も混雑しています！人々は三角測量点を「占拠」しており、写真を撮ることさえしていません。できる限り良い写真を撮り、その後昼食に行きました。

This is the quickest way up to the summit ridge of the highest Malverns, really useful if you have to dash to catch a sunrise or an inversion!

The Grade II listed parkland is filled with veteran trees and offers sweeping views to distant hills. It's an actively managed / farming landscape and some of the sheep here are rare breeds.

Someone thoughtfully left a bucket of oats for this forest pony, who seems to have grazed all the surrounding grass.

The final rise just off Raycomb Lane gives a fine view across to the little village of Coddington and its church, All Saints. Beyond Coddington you can see across towards Bosbury and the rise of Fromes Hill whihc both feature further along on the Herefordshire Trail.

The Estate at Hope End has sadly been broken up, but some of the main buildings are still there and they all seem to be called Hope End! This house with it's walled garden and backdrop of trees is particularly fine, especially when it catches the afternoon autumn light.

The route continues along a big and well maintained path that gradually climbs through woodland. As the path is on the edge of the woods the light that comes through is sublime.

The sublime view across the east Herefordshire countryside that opens out as you climb the hill towards the woods.
